THE FIRST NATIONAL
BUSINESS REMOVED TO THE spa
cIoUs CENTRAL BLOCK.
The Auspicious Event Duly Celebrated
TT Bank Crowded With
Well Usher This
Afternoon.

Another important event in the pros
porous. career of the First National bank
was its removal today to the Central block.
When the bank opened today atthe usual
hour everything was IN order and it
looked as if the establishment had been
in its new quarters for some time. The
president, Mr.. Collins, the cashier, Mr..
Phelps, and the assistant cashier, Mr.. At
kinson, We're on hand and received many
compliments or the splendid appearance
Of the new banking IN which ire
publican simplicity has been combined
with good taste and utility. The Central
block, it may be promised, is a large
building with a frontage of SO feet and
a depth Of so feet. It is built of brick
and will be the headquarters of the Cas-
cade county officers, and the Great Falls
WaterpoWer and ToWnsite Company, as
well as of lawyers and incorporated COM
panies. The First National bank occu-
pies the west wing Of the first floor. The
tellers' and b~ookkeepers' desks extend
more than half way. They have the
usual Wickets for receiving, paying and
for notes and are shielded from the cor
ridor BY strong sheets Of ground glass.
At the end Of these desks is Mr.. Phelps
comfortable Office where all business con-
nected with the cashiers department can
be conducted readily and conveintly.
Next this office is the directors room
which has abundance Of light from the
large sheet Of plate glass IN the window
thereof. Adjoining are the private Off
ces Of the president and cashier which
are supplied with handsome desks. The
bank Is also provided Withspacious vaults
with double doors that are both burglar
and fire proof, The bank Is ii the eeIler

of the business district and by its pres
ence there renders almost equal the rela-
tive merits of the north aud south sides
of Central venue
1t is proper to note on this occasion
that the First National bank Wasfounded
in 1886 to accommodatethe growing com
merce of this young city. Among its
first stockholders were James j. Hill,
colonel BroadWater, John S. Kennedy,
Paris Gibson and Robert Vaughn. Col
onel BroadWater was elected president
but the active management of the bank
devolved on Louis G. Phelps in whose
hands it thrived so well that at the end
of the first year, the stockholders resolved
to double the capital, making it 100000.
Colonel BroadWater was reelected presi-
dent but recently he decided to resign
that position in favor of Timothy D. Col
Inns, the viee-president, who after sue
cessful experience as a banker in Fort
Benton has become identified with this
enterprise. The directors for the current
veal are Charles A. BroadWater, Paris
Gibson, T. E. Collins, L. G. Phelps,
J. Iepley, Martin Maginnis, Robert
Vaughn, A. e. Diekerman and
ii. o. ChoWea. In addition to the above
named, the stockholders include
James J. Hill, Fl. r. Upham, president of
the First National Bank Of Saint Paul,
Samuel Thorne, J. t. Dodge, John s..
Kennedy, Ira Myers, a. II. Hotter, J. E.
Arlington and many others connected
with the railroad and commercial inter-
ests of Montana.
The business of this popular financial
Institution has been growing steadily and
rapidly. Although but a little more than
4 year old. but few of the elder banking
houses of the territory are more prosper
GUS or transact q larger volume of bust
ness. The First National has now $50
active accounts and It's deposits exceed
$4,000, which is simply i remarkable
showing for an institution and q owl as
Young as the First National and Great
Falls. Besides the officers already e
toned a. e. Diekernlan is connected with
the staff as assistant cashier and Frank p.
Atkinson as bookkeaper, and in the alb
sence of others, assistant cashier.
more competent and popular bank staff
it would be hard to gather together.
The bank closed today at o'clock, an
hour earlier than usual IN order that the
officers might hold an Informal reception
for the friends and customers OF the bank
The directors room was soon crowded
with leading merchants, and others who
rendered congratulations TO Messrs. Col
Inns aud Phelps on the bright prospects OF
the bank and the fine premises II had ac

The Wagon Bridge.

Large blocks of stone are being laid on
the third pier of the wagon bridge which
ought soon present the substantial APP
pearance of the other two piers. A strong
tramWay Of 12-inch square logs has been
laid from the river bank to the site of the
fourth pier. This tramWay rests on
supports which are firmly defended by
rubble stones. Large sheets of ice of
crystal purity are held by these supports,
while the water rushes by wildly as if
exulting in its freedom from the grasp
of the frost king who reigns so firmly in
Broadwater bay. The blocks of stone
which come chiseled from Sand CouIee,
are fine specimens of the exhaustless
store of building material which exists
in the vicinity of this city. Some of the
block are 10 feet long, two feet wide and
10 inches thick. They are light gray in
color and well adapted for building pur-
noses

quired. There was an abundance of good
things on the tables and the .house.warn1-
ing" was attended with complete success.
Mr.. Phelps left for the east by the four
O'Clock train and will be absent only a
few weeks. His trip will be one of bust
ness as we'll as pleasure.

OUR CATTLE INTERESTS.
A Good Showing Despite the Losses
Last Winter.

A Good Showing Despite the Losses
Last Winter.
The widely circulated reports of the
loss of cattle in Montana last winter were
such as to convey the idea that there
would be a heavy falling off in the live
stock traffic this fall. The conclusion,
however, is not warranted by the facts as
the figures will show. The Northern Pa
cifc has hauled east from Montana and
western Dakota this season Ts22,450 head of
beef cattle against S0,930 In 1886, a de-
crease of only $3.50 head. Last year g.
$50 head of cattle were shipped east from
Washington territory, but on account of
the coast demand being greater this year,
more were shipped, so that the shortage
from Montana and western Dakota is only
600 head. The number OF sheep brought
to market this year by the Northern Pa
cifc was 99, 1913 head, against 110,525 head
last year, q decrease of 10,S92. The fig
llres show a decrease III the stock move
ment of only 10 per cent, whereas CON
sentative judges-had estimated at least 80
per cent, as whole Hocks were literally
wiped out last winter. In spite of the
losses of last winter and the decline in the
market, stockmen are now planning 10
replenish the ranges, and next year will
see large numbers of cattle driven INTO
Montana and western Dakota.
Allowance should also be made for the
stock hauled T., market by the new Mani.
toba line, which amounted to nearly 20,
900 head.
